AT&T on Wednesday proclaimed the release of three new laptop modems, comprising of first LTE and HSPA+ high-speed devices. The USBConnect Adrenaline, made by LG, comes as AT&T's first LTE device. AT&T, claims that the modem will soon be receiving a software upgrade in 2011 when AT&T comes up with its own LTE network. For the time being, the feature will be running on AT&T's HSPA 7.2 network, and in future the system shall come down to 7.2 where LTE isn't available. The modem comes with an LED status indicator, GPS, and a MicroSD memory card slot. The Adrenaline will be priced at $49.99 with a two-year service plan. AT&T is aiming its business offering for new network technologies without the need to upgrade their hardware. Vice president, AT&T, Michael Woodward through a press release said, "We have purposefully planned our path to LTE to create a wireless network where the transition from 3G does not give customers wireless whiplash." Next comes the USBConnect Shockwave from Sierra Wireless, will be coming at zero cost with a two-year contract. That modem is crafted such that it runs on AT&T's HSPA+ 14.4 network, to be released by the year end.
